Ontwerp voor een advertentie van B. Stoutjesdijk 1895

This 1895 design by Reinier de Vries for an advertisement for B. Stoutjesdijk, an agent for the Amsterdam wine merchant Wolf & Meijer, showcases a distinctive Art Nouveau aesthetic. The use of stylized lettering, organic shapes, and decorative elements are characteristic of this design movement, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The graphic design features a bold and decorative typographic treatment with stylised hearts and floral motifs, reflecting the burgeoning interest in natural forms. This design for a printed advertisement is an excellent example of the artistic and commercial applications of Art Nouveau.
